✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN and did a mock interview.

What impressed you positively?

The second interview was closed file, and I felt more relaxed with them. Even though I don't think all of the staff were as well intentioned as they seemed, these two surgeons seemed genuinely interested.

What impressed you negatively?

The first interviewer was an instructor. I believe his name was Edward, and he seemed very stand-offish. Also, I believe Edward was suggesting that my depression would negatively effect my studies. He mentioned it twice, and I had to explain it to him more than once. There are a total of two classrooms; one for each class. It didn't seem like I was at a school at all.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The students mostly don't go to class. Instead, they listen to a pod cast which has been synchronized with a power point presentation.

What are your general comments?

Two separate interviews were one after the other. The first interview was open file. The second was closed file.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
